Restore Your Smile's Foundation with Advanced Dental Implants

Are you missing one or more teeth? Dental implants offer a revolutionary and long-lasting solution to restore your smile’s function, aesthetics, and overall oral health. At Dental Partners of Fifth Avenue, located on the Upper East Side of New York City, our experienced dental professionals provide comprehensive dental implant services, from initial evaluation to the final, beautiful restoration. Discover how dental implants can provide a strong and stable foundation for your new smile.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, typically made of biocompatible titanium, that are surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gum line. Over time, the implant fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration, creating a stable and durable foundation for replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or implant-supported dentures. Dental implants mimic the structure of natural teeth, providing unparalleled stability and support.

Benefits of Dental Implants:

Natural Look and Feel: Implants are designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth, providing a seamless and confident smile.
Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective long-term investment in your oral health.
Improved Stability: Implants provide exceptional stability for replacement teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence without worrying about slipping or movement.
Preserves Jawbone: Unlike other tooth replacement options, implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that can occur after tooth loss and alter your facial structure.
Enhanced Chewing Ability: Implants restore your natural biting force, allowing you to enjoy a wider variety of foods comfortably.
Supports Adjacent Teeth: Implants eliminate the need to alter adjacent healthy teeth, as is required for traditional bridges.

Who is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?

You may be a good candidate for dental implants if you:

• Have one or more missing teeth.

• Have sufficient bone density and volume in your jaw to support an implant. (Bone grafting may be an option if bone loss has occurred.)

• Have healthy gums and are committed to maintaining good oral hygiene.

• Are in good overall health.

• Are a non-smoker or are willing to quit.

• Are committed to the treatment process, which can take several months.

Our experienced dental professionals at Dental Partners of Fifth Avenue will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if dental implants are the right solution for your individual needs and circumstances. This evaluation typically includes a detailed medical history, a comprehensive oral examination, and advanced imaging such as cone beam CT scans (3D X-rays).

How Do Dental Implants Work?

The dental implant process at our Upper East Side office typically involves several stages:

Comprehensive Evaluation and Treatment Planning: Your first visit will involve a thorough assessment of your oral health, including medical history, examination, and advanced imaging to determine the optimal placement for your implants. We will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Implant Placement Surgery: The implant surgery involves surgically placing the titanium implant into your jawbone. This is typically a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia, and most patients experience minimal discomfort. In some cases, “immediate load” implants with temporary crowns can be placed on the same day, particularly for front teeth.
Osseointegration (Healing Period): After implant placement, a healing period of several months (typically 2-6 months) is required to allow the implant to fuse securely with your jawbone through osseointegration. Temporary dentures or bridges can often be worn during this time.
Abutment Placement: Once osseointegration is complete, a small connector post called an abutment is attached to the implant. The abutment will serve as the attachment point for your final restoration.
Custom Restoration: Finally, a custom-made porcelain crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the abutment, creating a natural-looking and fully functional replacement tooth or teeth.

Throughout the process, we utilize meticulous surgical techniques and advanced imaging to ensure precise implant placement and optimal outcomes.
